Students are required to plan, design, implement, document,and present the solution to a software/hardware engineering problem.Faculty use rubrics for the assessment of project proposal development in the eightsemester and for project implementation in form of prototype development anddemonstration in the ninth semester. Feedback from the rubrics is used to take correctiveaction to improve the course sequences, program objectives, and instructional delivery.I.

instructor to discuss the ideaof incomplete specification: I.E. was the original intent to measure human reaction time to anunannounced stimulus, or the accuracy of human reaction time, given the additional cue of acountdown timer? The potential importance of such a distinction could be demonstrated bydescribing to the students two groups who conducted human reaction time experiments using amicrocontroller and LED stimulus: Group A averaged 146ms reaction time, with a standarddeviation of 36ms, whereas Group B averaged only 27ms, with a 10ms standard deviation. Theinitial conclusion would be that something was inherently different between the two groups

Other advantages to thehybrid course are reduced traffic on campus and classroom spaces are freed up. Additionally, thehybrid model gives instructors more flexibility with their classes. For example, a professor oftechnical writing was better able to approximate a “real world” written environment for herstudents by using the hybrid model2.

, ranging from an individualcircuit board for each project block to all blocks on a single board. Teams who selected to createmultiple boards were able to test and troubleshoot circuit problems in a more efficient manner;however each team noted the impracticality of this approach for a final design. Teams with ahigh level of block integration on their circuit boards faced difficulty in testing individual blocksand troubleshooting circuit failures. Group presentations helped to demonstrated the contrast inresults and allowed course instructors to revisit the differences between prototype and finaldesigns which are spanned by the closed-loop, iterative design process.

Included in thiscourse are six laboratory experiences requiring students to write formal laboratory reports.These reports are graded both for technical content and the quality of the written presentation.Therefore, this course is an opportunity to assess both the analytical and writing skills of studentsat the sophomore level.

courses at otherinstitutions was difficult to find. “Construction-based” is the operative term here. The vastmajority of text books, courses and educational opportunities are associated with innovation as itrelates to product development. One notable exception was a course designed by renownedconstruction industry researchers C. H. Nam and C. B. Tatum. Nam and Tatum published theirdevelopment and implementation of a construction innovation class for civil engineeringstudents at Stanford University.9 They approached the topic from two perspectives. First, thecourse involved analyzing innovation fundamentals, specifically the process of innovation,including theories, human interaction, cultural influences, and governmental policies. Second,the
experimentwas to observe wave reflection for different loads. Students also learn to determine theapproximate location of the fault.Experiment 6 setup(Fig. 3)Experiment 6 procedure (summary):1. Measure the characteristic impedance and the velocity of propagation for the sample of RG-58 cable,based on measured cable capacitance and impedance using the relation vp = 1/(LC)1/2 .2. Set up the transmission line circuit in Fig.3 with the signal generator set up to output a 5 Vp-p squarewave with a frequency of about 100 kHz (not critical). Trigger the scope on the leading edge of thesignal to observe the reflection.

The lesson here is that “Plan B” must be developed at the outset, especially whendealing with lab equipment. Another lesson involved the time needed to actually develop thealignment procedure. Complex geometry and relatively small features can make for a difficultalignment process. Budgeting additional time on the front end of the project would havealleviated this issue.Conclusion and Further RecommendationsAlthough the lessons mentioned above were obstacles to completing this project, the overallsuccess was noteworthy.
